Product Description

Are you worrying about relationship difficulties, family issues, excessive eating, overworking, ongoing pain, illness, financial woes, addictions, or damaging anger? Perhaps you’re seeking freedom from depression, a general sense of discontent, or a lack of purpose. Do you want to stop dreading the future or reliving past disappointments?

Thirty years ago, Gigi Langer was a prisoner of her worries who used alcohol, romance, and professional accomplishments to sooth her frayed nerves. After studying and applying tools from recovery pro­grams, cognitive therapy, energy work, scientific research, and a variety of spiritual teachings, she discovered how to calm her own—and many others’—anxieties and fears.

Worry Less Now offers four life strategies and 50 practical tools to dissolve the “whispered lies” of negative thinking. It’s filled with compelling stories, practical ideas, and step-by-step exercises that empower you to:

MANAGE life’s most difficult challenges with calm wisdom

CREATE relationships that blossom and thrive

FULFILL your dreams without limitations

SERVE others in their personal growth

In the early chapters, you’ll learn to get honest with yourself, claim positive power, make powerful choices, and use a variety of growth practices. Langer illustrates how these strategies dissolve the negative effects of relationship failures, sickness, perfectionism, and substance abuse. Later sections describe how the system heals the effects of dysfunctional families and worry about loved ones. Regardless of the situation, you’ll be able to gain peace, clarity, and wisdom.

Praise for Worry Less Now

"Langer’s frank and empathetic tone will comfort readers, as will the practical steps she teaches in this tome.” —Featured Book, Publishers Weekly (BookLife)

“I've become reluctant to recommend personal growth books to my clients because so few seem to focus on taking action. ‘Worry Less Now’ is different. Rather than setting herself up as the authority, it’s clear that she works the strategies and tools as part of her ongoing growth. She comes across as warm, humorous, approachable, accepting, credible, and sincerely invested in the personal growth of her readers.” -Christine McCully, LMC, MA.
